Rediff backed Tachyon Technologies, has launched a new Indic input service called Quillpad Roaming, which allows users to type in Indic language text on multiple websites, a service similar to Google's which had introduced browser bookmarklets back in 2009.

Following this, users are asked to register for a Quillpad account, and a bookmarklet is added to the users browser, and the right-click menu. F8 can be used to toggle between English and the language of your choice. To disable the mode, right click on the text area and disable Quillpad language mode. On Competition & Monetization Speaking to Medianama about Quillpad Roaming, Ram Prakash, CEO & Founder of Tachyon Technologies said that this service has been launched in competition with Google transliteration.
